ROB CARLSON AND LAUREN MILLER DEFEAT SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON CLIENT’S CLAIMS

Rob Carlson and Lauren Miller obtained a ruling denying summary judgment in the long-running case of Savoy v. Bowen et al. in the Superior Court of Coweta County, Georgia. On behalf of their client, Rob and Lauren filed suit in 2016 against their client’s sisters for breach of fiduciary duty, an accounting, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney’s fees, along with various claims for equitable relief. In 2017, the trial court granted default judgment to Rob and Lauren’s client, a ruling affirmed by the Georgia Court of Appeals. Bowen v. Savoy, Case No. A18A1001. That ruling was later reversed by the Georgia Supreme Court on certiorari, which overturned the previously established precedent governing the standards for setting aside of default relied on by the trial court and Court of Appeals in their rulings. Bowen v. Savoy, 308 Ga. 204 (2020). Following the Supreme Court’s reversal, Rob and Lauren obtained the denial of the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, which preserved all of their claims for adjudication by the jury.
